About the Item

Machu Picchu I Peru, 2009 165 x 212 cm Edition size: 12 Light jet, exposure on high glossy paper and aluminum dibond Framed with tulipwood, distance framing, and a UV 99 museum glass. Machu Picchu is a city founded by the Incas high in the Peruvian Andes above the valley of the Río Urubamba. The Incas built the city in the 15th century at an altitude of 2,430 meters on a ridge between the peaks of Huayna Picchu and the mountain of the same name Machu Picchu in the Andes above the Urubamba Valley of the Cusco region, 75 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco. The site is famous for its ingenious dry-stone walls, to which huge blocks of stone were piled without mortar. The city included 216 stone structures, located on terraces and connected by a system of stairs. Most of the terraces with their small water drainage openings built into the walls and about 3,000 steps, have been preserved to this day, as have the canal connection from the water source outside the city complex to the cascading fountain basins, the outer walls of the temples, and the residential buildings, some of which are multi-story. Characteristic of the fascinating buildings is their relational astronomical orientation and the panoramic view offered from them. Their exact use remains a mystery. Christian Voigt's Biography: Born in Munich, Germany, Christian Voigt lives and works in Hamburg and The South of France. His current studio is situated in Hamburg. Christian Voigt works with large-format cameras, both digital and analogue. He experiments with new camera techniques and makes the best use of the digital medium. In the museum edition, his large-format pictures can measure as much as eight meters in width. But his strictly limited editions also come in sizes which customers and collectors can hang on walls of more modest sizes. Christian Voigt has developed a language capable of telling new stories. He continually works to refine a pictorial idiom, the stories he wants to tell, the feelings he convey. This is visible in his pictures; Landscape and architecture are his principal areas of interest, but he also does portraits and nudes. The travels associated with his projects and places call for concentration, for the ability to get to grips with people, with their history and their religion. ‘My pictures are created with the camera, not on the computer,’ he says, with a reference to the complicated technology and processing that goes into his creations. ‘But without the computer technology of today, the pictures couldn’t be crafted into their final form.’
